Moth Bites Man<br />
After a quarter century of more or less consistently having had things go my way with moths, the tables<br />
were turned momentarily last summer.<br />
I was collecting with my daughter at a 15-watt blacklight in the Shenandoah National Forest northwest<br />
of Luray, Virginia, in late July. Moths were not overly abundant .(about 120 species taken in two nights), and<br />
although other insects, especially caddis flies were present in annoying numbers, conditions were nothing like<br />
those which sometimes obtain in tropical areas when one's face is continually bombarded with insects when<br />
near the light. However, about 11 :30 p.m., while I was standing a few feet from the blacklight, a moth suddenly<br />
flew directly into my ear. When I instinctively reached up to it, the brute quickly wriggled downward<br />
as far as possible, where it nested against the eardrum and commenced to thrash and kick. After a short time<br />
I noticed that this was probably going to be annoying - it sounded roughly like what I imagine it would to<br />
have one's head' inside a snare drum - but assorted measures (holding flashlight, blacklight to ear, banging opposite<br />
ear, shouting threats, etc.) failed to persuade the busy immigrant to turn around and evacuate.<br />
Having lost interest in further collecting, I retreated to the sleeping bag, but various positions of recline<br />
did not affect the moth's behavior. Periods of rapid vibration and scratching were interspersed with those of<br />
quiescence, during which the intruder and the collector rested. Finally, with the likelihood of survival with<br />
even lepidopterists' level of sanity such a night seeming slight, I held an open cyanide bottle over my ear,<br />
which resulted in an immediate flurry of activity (on the part of the moth), an array of increasingly higher<br />
pitched buzzing and whining, and at last quiet.<br />
The following day there was no particular discomfort, although the beseiged stowaway continued to<br />
sporadically quiver weakly until noon or so. Thus we continued the trip, and I did some diurnal collecting<br />
before breaking camp and driving the 100 miles to our home base. Late that afternoon I went to the emergency<br />
clinic at the Alexandria Hospital; the receiving nurse showed no emotion in dutifully entering 'moth<br />
in ear' on the registration form, but her estimate of 30-40 minutes wait was grossly in error. No sooner had<br />
I taken a seat than my name was called, and a physician immediately came to my aid in preference over the<br />
occupants of crowded rooms full of the usual aggregation of maimed Sunday motorcyclists and the like:<br />
'Are you the one with the moth in ear? (definite inflection of incredulity)..."Yeh, laugh it off"...ILet's have<br />
a 100k...My God, it is a moth"..."Hey Joe, take a look at this"..."Great Scott, its got legs"..."Hey Mabel,<br />
look at this"..."0h, iick"...and so on.<br />
If you think they were surprised then though, you Should have seen the looks, when after extraction,<br />
to my astonishment I perceived the beast to be not a tortricid or other respectable micro, and announced<br />
IIA noctuid! Outtasite."<br />
The specimen, rescued from the brink of disposal but in only fair condition, was later identified as<br />
Polygrammate hebraeicum (Hbn.) by E. L. Todd, ARS, U. S. National Museum, who looked like he really<br />
didn't believe it either. After all the entertainment the unappreciative hospital billed me $20 for professional<br />
services, a fee no noctuid has ever been worth.<br />

EVALUATION. There are no known unpaid bills for 1971. Our costs continue to soar. Postage now is one<br />
of our major expenses and will continue to increase in the future. The new printing contract negotiated for<br />
the JOURNAL for the next three years will increase production costs of this item. As anticipated, our new<br />
dues structure placed operations for 1971 in the plus column, however marginal it is. An estimated budget<br />
for 1972 is: JOURNAL $10,000; NEWS $2,500; Administrative expenses (including postage) $700.00.<br />

ESPECIALLY FOR FI ELD COLLECTORS<br />
This section is edited by Dr. Paul A. Opler. Articles are solicited from members, and are to be sent to him on<br />
subjects of interest to the field lepidopterist. His temporary address is: Hacienda la Pacifica, Canas, Guanacaste,<br />
COSTA RICA, C. A.<br />
ONE-DAY AND ONE-WEEK LISTS IN NEW YORK<br />
With collecting almost as automobile-dependent as everything else nowadays, it is much easier to collect many species in<br />
one day than it used to be. A list of 30 - 40 species is easily obtained in midsummer in any ecologically diverse part of the Northeast,<br />
given an early start and a set of wheels. Getting that many butterflies in a small area on foot is something else again, and<br />
indicates an unusually rich local fauna. My own record of this sort is 43 species in 2 miles of Ellis Hollow, Tompkins County,<br />
New York, July 6, 1970. Ellis Hollow is the valley of upper Cascadilla Creek. The valley floor is in pasture or alfalfa, wh ile the<br />
hills are largely forested with beech, maple, and hemlock and some areas of birch, aspen, and other successional vegetation. The<br />
list follows: Danaus plexippus, Lethe eurydice, Cercyonis~ nephele, Euptychia cymela, Speyeria aphrodite, §. cybele,<br />
Boloria toddii, Euphydryas phaeton, Phyciodes tharos, Polygonia progne, f. interrogationis, Nymphalis antiopa, ~. milberti,<br />

otho egeremet, and Euphyes vestris metacomet. In addition, 4 more species were seen in the same area the same week:<br />
Satyrium acadica, Papilio polyxenes asterius, Epargyreus c1arus, and Euphyes dion.<br />
What about a one-week list for a single county? My record is 59 species in Richmond County, New York, the week of<br />
July 12, 1971. Of these, 37 were taken in one day. Richmond County (Staten Island) has an area of about 70 square miles, of<br />
which about 1/3 is fully urbanized, and a relief of 300-odd feet. The climax vegetation is oak forest; there are extensive areas<br />
of waste ground, tidal marsh, and scrub oak-pine barrens habitats. The list: Q. plexippus, !:: eurydice, f: pegala alope, E.:<br />

1971 SEASON SUMMARY CORRECTIONS:<br />
We regret that Ray W. Bracher's report for Zone 5 was lost in the mail, and that his data were not reported in the Summary.<br />
He has been a regular contributor of Indiana information. Robert May writes that his Florida record published incorrectly as<br />
Calephelis virginiensis was Cynthia (formerly Vanessa) virginiensis (pg. 10); also, his name was omitted as reporting the New<br />
Jersey data on pg. 12, beginning with "at Great Piece Meadows" and ending with "C. promethea rearing." He further corrects<br />
the 1967 Summary (published 15April,1968) as follows: Under New Jersey, C. harrisii should read "vi - 26", not "vi -1";<br />
and Callophrys henrici, iv -29, should have been included under Maryland, notNew Jersey.<br />
* * * * * *<br />
Eli W. Beery, 7007 East Bayshore Drive, Traverse City, MICH. 49684, U.S.A., and his wife plan a tour of Europe and Africa<br />
during Aug. and Sept., 1972, and wish to hear from members in those area who would welcome a visit from them.<br />
* * * * * *<br />
We welcome Mike Van Buskirk as our new Zone 2 Coordinator for the Field Season Summary, replacing E. J. Newcomer.<br />
* * * * * *<br />
No.4 of the NEWS is the MEMBERSHIP LIST, for which we thank Lee and Jackie Miller. The next "newsy" NEWS will be<br />
No.5 - the September issue, which will feature a report on the 25th Anniversary Meeting in San Antonio, Texas.<br />
* * * * * *<br />
Dave Thompson, of 2309 Iowa St., Cedar Falls, IOWA 50613, writes of his concern about the sale and use of the bacterium<br />
Bacillus thuringiensis as a biological control agent for insect pests. He wishes to know of possible harm to populations of<br />
Lepidoptera, including species reared by lepidopterists. Anyone with good knowledge about the use of this agent please contact<br />
him.<br />
* * * * * *<br />
Eduardo C. Welling M. writes of his disappointment that the NEWS is now appearing only 6 times a year. This change was made<br />
in 1971 to save on expense and labor. Those with opinions on this may write the Editor. Welling M. also wants to notify those<br />
who purchased material from him labeled Piste, Yucatan, 1967, who were dissatisfied with the condition of specimens to con·<br />
tact him immediately for adjustment; his collector there tried to defraud him, and bad specimens were apparently sent out unwittingly.<br />
He says that much 1968 material has had to be checked carefully, and that this has caused delay in his sending 1968<br />
material to his clients.<br />

THE NORTHWEST BUTTERFLY SURVEY<br />
The Northwest Butterfly Survey has been founded as a research body for the accumulation, collation and presentation of<br />
information about the Rhopalocera of northwestern North America. The area of study includes Oregon, Washington, Idaho,<br />
British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. This area represents a massive gap in the continental butterfly knowledge, as well<br />
as a zoogeographic unit of reasonable integrity. Our intellectual concerns include the full biology of natural history of the organisms<br />
and their realm. The decline of and prognosis for populations will be a special area of inquiry.<br />
A base work for Washington (Pyle) is at press, one for Oregon is well toward completion (Dornfeld) and one for British<br />
Columbia is incipient (Shepard). Studies on the two remaining units are being planned. Principal collaborators are Dr. Ernst<br />
Dornfeld and David McCorkle in Oregon, E. J. Newcomer in Washington and Robert L. Chehey in Idaho. Data from any other<br />
contributors are warmly solicited. Queries and communications will be welcomed at the following addresses:<br />
